| So...Mr. Wilson, (R) from South Carolina decided to try to grab the spotlight during the President's healthcare reform speech by telling all of us that the President lies. Then after the event ended he promptly RAN out of the room.
I cannot imagine the outrage from the right had any Democratic member of Congress called that out during one of George W's speeches but such is the nature of the right-wing double standard.
Mr. Wilson's subsequent apology for his "lack of civility" rings hollow. This morning, not surprisingly, all of Mr. Wilson's websites, including his house.gov website are "down for maintenance".
I was going to send Mr. Wilson a short note thanking him for not being my Representative. If he was my representative I would be so embarrassed and ashamed of his behavior.
Nevertheless I'm sure the extreme right will hold him up as a fearless legislature who wasn't afraid to call it the way he see's it. Fair enough...and as much I as I vilify him, I would also like to thank him for making the President's point about civility.
Mr. Wilson proved that politics are too partisan. Time for these people to stop worrying about their damn party and start worrying about the American people.
To see the GOP in the chamber last night it was very clear to me that they don't give a rat's ass about healthcare for ordinary Americans.
Put your websites back online Mr. Wilson...hear what the American public has to say to you (good and bad).
Last night, the menace was Mr. Wilson and, ultimately, the victim will be the GOP who will suffer for his outburst, as perhaps they should. Mr. Wilson showed his party's colours. Hey Mr. Wiiiiilsooon! Learn a lesson...tis better to be silent and have people suspect you're a fool than to open your mouth and confirm their suspicions. |
